Profile:

An opening batsman in the Trumper mould, Mushtaq loved to get after the bowling from the word go. Vijay Merchant, his opening partner, would often shake his head in despair at seeing Mushtaq come down the track in the opening overs of an innings. Those two share a part of a famous day in Test cricket: in the 2nd Test in 1936, facing a huge first innings deficit, India reached 190/0 at stumps. This was after England had added 398 earlier in the day. This is still the most runs ever scored in a single Test day. Mushtaq was a stylist, sometimes compared to Ranji, and a fine sight in full flow. Interestingly, he was first picked as a left-arm spinner. (Uday Rajan, 1998)
